Gang violence and our leaders

Why are we not hearing from any of the city candidates for Mayor or city council on their stand on gang violence in our city and what they are going to do about it? If the candidates and citizens of Portland spent half as much time being as concerned about the violent death of a 13 year old boy at the hands of a bunch of thugs as they do about Occupy Portland, then maybe this kid would be alive today. When you vote, vote for the candidates that are not afraid to step on some toes to make our city safer.
